My first experience with weird tuned guitars happened when I was trying to play the song “Kashmir” by Led Zeppelin. In general, if you want to find lots of beautiful weird tuned guitar riffs – Led Zeppelin is the exactly band you need to know. From my point of view Jimmy Page is one of the best guitar masters who composed the most popular weird tuned guitar songs. I may say that he is one of the first rock guitarists I know who began to make such experiments and as many people know, he did it with great success! Let me mention some other songs you can listen: Black Mountain Side, Hats Off To (Roy) Harper, Going to California, Bron-Yr-Aur – these are some favorites of mine.
Here is the way you should tune your guitar:
- First string = D
- Second string = A
- Third string = F
- Fourth string = D
- Fifth string = A
- Sixth string = D
Weird tuned guitar is a good way to find new colors and dimensions for your music. It’s a good way to get inspired and make the first steps towards creating something really original!
